Reports saying the back country is whooping the xrs from top to bottom. Rolling start, dead stop, even giving the xrs a 5 sled lead... It smokes it.

I would have expected a better result. I bet a little clutching would wake that Doo up. Apparently the xrs isn't very impressive as far as acceleration compared to other models. Lots of xrs buyers pissed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also posted a video of Jamie's Assault 800 crushing his (Jamie's) BCX 850 three out of four times.

On the big end the Assault is really pulling away as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have expected the bigger lugs on the Doo to give it an advantage on lower end in the type of snow in the video, but you are right -- the Assault took it from bottom to top. The Assault comes out of the hole hard. (My son has a '17 SBA.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if a sledder was really concerned with straight line speed, they would just drop their 15k on a Sidewinder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, but Analer said that XRS owners are pissed about lack of acceleration. I wasn't making reference to the video, just Analer's comment.

Well when they line up with a competitor and they have the biggest most advanced motor and they are getting their butts handed to them I can see why they might be upset.

Just getting out and riding is a win in my book. We have some snow a little north of here but I have been hooked up with family stuff and haven't gone yet. I would like a few more feet to cover the alders and stuff. A couple more feet here in town would be nice too, Hahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
